Standardizing Smart Body Area Networks
Résumé
ETSI SmartBAN TC is a Technical Committee that was created in 2013 for developing and maintaining an ETSI Standard and Specification, reports, guides, etc. relating to smart, wireless Body Area Networks (BANs). It addresses everything related to BANs in a holistic way, i.e. from tiny medical sensors located inside/on the body up to remote end user devices (e.g. hospital Medical Information System - MIS -, caregiver' tablet, helper' Smartphone …), as well as from Physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers up to application layers. The addressed verticals are currently mainly related to eHealth, wellbeing/wellness and personal safety, but other use cases related to e.g. automotive are also envisioned
